Chapter 202 If I tell you not to eat, you're not allowed to eat.
Upon hearing this, Guo Caifeng, filled with rage, lashed out at Xia Xiaoyun, "Whose daughter-in-law are you? You ungrateful little bitch! What benefits has the Huo family given you that you're so siding with them?"
"You..." Xia Xiaoyun was an intellectual and didn't know how to swear.
"I'm just stating the facts; you can't just say whatever you want."
"Stop talking!" Zeng Fushun roared.
Guo Caifeng and Xia Xiaoyun both shut their mouths at the same time.
"Brigade Commander, I demand an explanation for what happened today. My mother can't have taken that slap for nothing."
"Want an explanation? Then I'll give you one." Qiao An's expression was gloomy as she stepped forward, supporting her waist.
"Your mom cut in line to buy groceries, and when I made her wait in line, she scolded me, saying that I was doing something shameful in the south, and that I was having affairs while I was heavily pregnant, and that my baby would be born without an anus."
"Oh, right, she also called me a filthy whore who's been ridden by a thousand men and stepped on by ten thousand men."
Qiao An spoke with conviction and without embellishment whatsoever.
"If you don't believe me, all the women in the square can testify for me. Everyone heard it, so don't say I'm wronging her."
At this moment, Li Shaoyun came to Qi Yunsheng's side and muttered a few words in a low voice.
Qi Yunsheng's face grew increasingly dark.
"If someone insulted your pregnant wife like that, Commander Zeng, could you tolerate it?"
"If you say you can avoid taking action, then I respect you as a coward."
Zeng Fushun's face turned green. He gritted his teeth and looked at his mother.
She certainly has the mouth to say things like that.
"Am I wrong? Everyone knows you went to the south alone, it's not just me who said it."
"Shi Man, Zhao Chunxia, and Lin Wan, they all said it, and I heard it from them. They said that women who go to the south to do business have to sell their bodies, and that those people have really picky tastes, liking a pregnant woman like you."
Guo Caifeng also realized that things were going wrong, so she decided to drag those who were gossiping behind her back into the fray to help her share the blame.
As expected, Zhao Chunxia, Shi Man, and Lin Wan all panicked.
"No, no! That's not what we said, I didn't say that!" Zhao Chunxia shook her head like a rattle drum.
Shi Man was trembling with fear. Her husband was just a battalion commander. If Huo Jiyun really beat her up, her husband probably wouldn't dare to utter a sound.
Lin Wan retreated step by step, afraid of meeting Huo Jiyun's murderous eyes again.
She was an orphan and a widow, but she had no one to rely on.
Qi Yunsheng glared at Zeng Fushun. Ever since his mother came to the compound, there hadn't been a single day of peace.
I have to rush back and make him send the person away.
"Huo Jiyun, as a soldier, you should never hit people. If there's anything, you can report it to your superiors. Besides, it's your sister-in-law Shaoyun's business to deal with these women's affairs. How could you be so impulsive?"
Out of a desire for strict management of soldiers, Qi Yunsheng first criticized Huo Jiyun.
But Huo Jiyun didn't think he was wrong at all, and unusually, he started to talk back.
"Brigadier, Qiao An is my wife. I've wronged her all these years. In the village, people said I was too far away to control her. Now that she's come to the Northwest with me, someone is insulting her with such things. I can't stand it!"
"The fertilizer used by the four communes in Amutu this time was all bought by Qiao An, who, despite being heavily pregnant, went to Guangyun City to beg and plead with everyone she could, paying for it herself. She's a hero of Amutu!"
"She could have easily stood by and watched the commune's farmers starve to death in a few months, watched Amutu descend into chaos, but she didn't. In my eyes, no one can say a bad word about her!"
This was the first time Huo Jiyun had ever been so angry, and it was directed at Qi Yunsheng.
Even Qi Yunsheng choked for a moment, unable to speak.
"Well...you can't slap someone in the face." After holding it in for a long time, Qi Yunsheng finally uttered these words.
"Alright, if there's a next time, I'll break those people's legs." Huo Jiyun continued Qi Yunsheng's words, while glancing at Lin Wan and the others.
"Is that what I meant, you little rascal!"
When the truth came out, Zeng Fushun deflated like a punctured balloon.
Guo Caifeng didn't dare to speak anymore; she was afraid she would suffer that slap for nothing.
Qi Yunsheng didn't even bother to look at Guo Caifeng, but instead turned his gaze to Zeng Fushun. "I think you ignored what I told you last time. Although Huo Jiyun was the one who made the move this time, it was understandable."
"You, go home and write a 1000-word self-criticism, and hand it in to me tomorrow. Our compound has no peace because of your family. If you can manage it, then manage it; if you can't, then don't cause me any more trouble."
"yes!"
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go home," Zeng Fushun said to Guo Caifeng, his voice weary.
"No, I can't go back. I haven't bought groceries yet."
Guo Caifeng has made such a huge embarrassment, yet she's still thinking about food.
Even Joan admired her strong heart.
Unfortunately, she couldn't buy these vegetables today no matter what she said.
Not just her, but those others too, none of them will do.
Qiao An kicked the basin that Guo Caifeng had thrown on the ground.
"I'm here today, you're not taking a single vegetable with you."
"And Shi Man, Zhao Chunxia, and Lin Wan, none of you three are allowed to buy it either."
Zeng Fushun's face turned ashen.
"Huo Jiyun, Qiao An, I admit my mother was wrong, but you can't go too far. These vegetables were brought from the garrison canteen and sold to the families of military personnel in the compound. Why can't we buy them?"
Huo Jiyun chuckled but didn't say anything. He was just waiting to see his wife slap him in the face.
"Why? Because these dishes were all bought by me, this filthy whore who went south and hooked up with countless men. If I don't let anyone eat them, then no one can eat them!"
Everyone in the square stood there, motionless, like wooden stakes.
The vegetables they lined up to buy were actually brought by Joan from the south!
Yue Na and Le Guyu then came to their senses. No wonder Qiao An came to the square without bringing anything; he just chatted with them and didn't even look at the truck.
So these all belong to someone else.
"Is that reason enough?" Joanne asked with a mocking smile.
Zeng Fushun was speechless, and he subconsciously looked at Qi Yunsheng.
Qi Yunsheng nodded. "It's true that all the dried seafood and freeze-dried vegetables were purchased by Qiao An through special channels."
"Commander Qi, I'm a reasonable person, but I can also be domineering. If someone doesn't let me have my way, I won't let them have their way either. You call me a whore but still want to eat the vegetables I buy. You're dreaming."
"From today onwards, I don't care about anyone else, but Zhao Chunxia, Shi Man, Guo Caifeng, and Lin Wan are not allowed to buy my vegetables. If you think I'm doing something wrong, then I'll go and talk to the Commander right now."
Qi Yunsheng actually felt that Qiao An did the right thing; these people who love to gossip all the time should be properly disciplined.
I never expected that Lin Wan, who is usually gentle and proper, would be so talkative.
"You were wronged in this matter, but they should also pay some price."
Qi Yunsheng's words were an affirmation of Qiao An's statement, and at the same time, they sealed the deal.
"What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and get out of here," said Lin Wan, who was standing behind Le Guyu.
